Isn't This Boring Yet?
There’s always wacky journalism afoot. I’m mostly bored (though I guess still a little stabby) over all the super weird women-hating articles in big papers lately.
This article on Salon isn’t as close to all of those bra-ha-has, but I smiled at Osell’s parenthetical call-out “(Though their reporter, too, quotes Hoff Summers. Note to journalists: E-mail me if you need a quote from an actual feminist about feminist topics, OK?)” reminds me of a the recurring problem of including women on professional panels and lectures. Not that there aren’t any available, as proven by this list made a couple years ago on Personism.
Alas.
In more triumphant news, the Writopia Lab kids have been winning fabulously in The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
Today I was good and read my one emailed page of Eastern Standard Tribe. I’m loving this book so much that if recreational reading weren’t so beyond the realms of possibility, I would buy all of Cory Doctorow
(actually, my thesis group next year is going to be called Death to All Who Oppose Us — guess i use that phrase a lot. it’s just so likable.)
